GREENSBORO, N.C. – Former Maryland women’s basketball great Laura Harper was named an ACC Legend Thursday and will be honored at the ACC Tournament in Greensboro in March.

Harper, the 2006 Final Four Most Outstanding Player, is part of the 10th annual class of ACC Women's Basketball Legends.

One of the most passionate and successful players ever to represent the Terrapins, Harper left Maryland in 2008 after an impactful four-year career in College Park. Her career did not start as smoothly as expected when she ruptured her Achilles tendon in December of her freshman year. After battling back from the injury, she led the Terrapins to their first-ever NCAA championship the following season. She averaged 14.0 points and 8.3 rebounds during the tournament run and was named Final Four Most Outstanding Player for her performance. In the Final Four against No. 1 North Carolina, the sophomore notched a career-high with 24 points and added nine rebounds to advance to the title game against Duke. In the ACC championship, she had 16 points and seven key rebounds as the Terrapins battled in overtime.

Harper holds the Maryland record for blocks with 198 in her career. She is also in the school record books with 873 career rebounds and 1,407 points.

The Legends will be honored at the annual ACC Women's Basketball Legends' Luncheon on Saturday, March 8, at 1 p.m., and then will be introduced to the Coliseum crowd at halftime of the first semifinal game that evening. The ACC Women's Basketball Legends program honors both players and coaches from each of the ACC's 15 schools who have contributed to the league's rich tradition.
